A Rare Victory

Which is a good argument for not allowing religion to be taught in schools at all. You teach evolution in the schools (as it's an established scientific theory, therefore it can safely be taught in science classes) and then you put a little box on the tax form so people can pay some of their taxes to the damned church/mosque/whatever. Then those people can send their kids off to church on a sunday morning to learn about the wonders of creationism.

Religion is not allowed to be taught in public schools in the US!

That's why the creationists made up the BS idea of ID. As soon as the school starts teaching something that upsets religious people, such as say, evolutionary theory, they are "touching" religion, no matter that they try to avoid it.

This makes an argument not for prohibiting religion in school, but for prohibiting government control of schools. Private schools can teach whatever they want, and if you don't want your kids to get the wrong stuff you pick a different school.
